a Friday and the weekend

Esme's Friday was full of fun and building. We did a little bit of sewing, writing and math and English in the morning for two hours - then in the afternoon Daddy and her built this for about three hours or more...

She had gotten a 'lab coat' in the mail from her great-aunt Dot and was intent on wearing it both Friday and Saturday.  

Their project was to build a bridge that would span across the pool table.  Daddy built one with the mini K'nex set, and Esme copied it with the larger K'nex.  He said she did almost all of it herself, and selected which were the corresponding pieces as well. 

We took Saturday 'off'  I worked much of it, and it went by in a blur.

Today is Sunday and she has had something like a three hour romp out at the park and then a half hour with some kids she knew (which was coincidence) having a drink at the playplace.  We discovered a new area at the park on the walking trail and Esme lost her dinosaur toy to being buried in the leaves by a boy - and then another tiny girl miraculously found it about an hour later.  No more dinosaur toys at the park!

I'm getting ready to finish the last book of the All Soul's Trilogy.  I should take a look at the purple coat I had started knitting her last year (or more) and see if I can get it on the way to being a completed object.  Other than that - we just have birthday organizing to do... did a 'A' order yesterday for some of the things we had planned on.
